Know before you buy
The mid-scale profile is designed to offer a substantial, supportive high-back feel without the bulky footprint of a traditional executive chair. It is ideal for home offices or smaller professional spaces where you want ergonomic support without overwhelming the room.
The control options determine how the chair reclines. The syncro controls allow the backrest and seat to move in harmony for a more natural recline, while the dual-torsion syncro provides a more refined, balanced movement for those who spend long hours at their desk.
The choice of base material is largely aesthetic, as all options are engineered for stability. However, you should pair your base with the correct casters: choose hard floor casters for wood or tile, and carpet casters for soft surfaces to ensure smooth movement.
Yes, the Bergen offers a height-adjustable arm option if you need to customize the fit to your desk height. Other styles, such as the cantilever or executive 'C' arms, are fixed, providing a more streamlined and traditional look.
Yes, the Bergen is TB133 fire-rated, meaning it meets rigorous safety standards for fire retardancy. This makes it a reliable, compliant choice for both residential home offices and commercial environments.
Absolutely, provided you select the appropriate hard floor casters during customization. These casters are specifically designed with a softer tread to prevent scratching or marring delicate surfaces.
